## What it is
Reframe.js is a small vanilla JavaScript plugin that wraps unresponsive elements like iframes and embedded videos in a container with a fixed intrinsic ratio so they scale responsively. It includes a noframe.js variant that scales elements without altering the DOM structure.

## Use cases
- make embedded YouTube videos responsive
- scale iframes at a fixed aspect ratio
- make CMS-embedded content responsive without manual CSS
- replace FitVids with a vanilla JS plugin
- scale embedded content without breaking analytics event listeners
- make video playlists scale within a content area

## When to choose
- you need responsive iframes or video embeds in a CMS with multiple editors
- you want a tiny dependency-free FitVids alternative
- you must preserve DOM structure and analytics events on embedded content (use noframe.js)

## When to avoid
- you can use modern CSS aspect-ratio instead of a JS plugin
- you need a maintained repo - use yowainwright/reframe.js instead of this archived one
- you need a full responsive media or layout framework
